    The core of men’s preventive health care is really not expensive supplements or exclusive physical therapy. If you control your daily habits and conduct targeted regular screenings, you can avoid more than 90% of common men’s health problems.

    A while ago, I accompanied my 32-year-old programmer buddy to get the physical examination report. He found out that he had prostate calcification, high blood lipids, and high uric acid. He was still confused and said that he usually felt nothing but tired easily. After careful questioning, I found out that when he was working on projects, he often sat for six or seven hours. At times, I feel the urge to urinate so much that my stomach hurts and I have to finish typing the code first. After get off work, I order takeout with heavy oil and salt and iced beer. On weekends, I stay at home and have fun. When the battle situation is at stake, I would rather hold my bladder tight than quit the game and go to the toilet. It is common to stay up until two or three o'clock, and I always feel that I am young and can handle it.

    Having said this, I have to mention the care of the genitourinary system that many men tend to ignore. In fact, it is really not complicated. Don't sit for more than an hour before getting up to get a glass of water and walk around for two steps. Don't hold back your urine. Don't take the cleaning of your private parts seriously. If your foreskin is too long, open it and wash it every day. Otherwise, the hidden dirt will not only easily inflame yourself, but may also cause gynecological problems in your partner. There is really no need to think that "it's normal for men to be rough."

    There is also a controversy about kidney replenishing that everyone is most concerned about. Different medical systems now have different understandings: kidney deficiency in traditional Chinese medicine is a symptom of systemic functional decline, and conditioning also pays attention to syndrome differentiation and treatment. It is not something you can just buy a bottle of Liuwei Rehmannia Pills. I met a 28-year-old young man in the urology department before. He bought and ate the famous kidney-tonifying pills for half a year. In the end, it was found that the transaminase exceeded three times, and he suffered liver damage from taking the pills. It is really not a mistake.

    Another point that is ignored by many young people is physical examination. Don’t always think that physical examination is something only the elderly should do. For routine physical examination after the age of 30, it is recommended to add PSA, which is prostate-specific antigen screening. It does not cost much and can screen many prostate problems early. For those who smoke all year round, it is best to add chest CT and lung function tests. My distant cousin is 42 years old and has smoked for 20 years. He used to cough all the time and thought it was chronic pharyngitis. Last year, his physical examination revealed early-stage lung nodules. After the surgery, he recovered very well. I really can’t think of the consequences if it drags on for another year or two.

    You don’t have to force yourself to get a fitness card worth tens of thousands of dollars to practice hard. Walk two extra stops after get off work. Don’t lie down at home all the time on weekends. Go play ball with friends and go hiking. Don’t hold it in when you are stressed. You can just complain to your buddies and drink two drinks. Stressing it in your heart for a long time will easily lead to blood pressure and heart problems.

    To put it bluntly, men’s health care really doesn’t have so many mysterious gimmicks. If you pay more attention to your body, it will definitely not let you down at critical moments. After all, there are seniors and juniors, and a strong body is the confidence of the whole family.
